Welcome to a new section of the course in this section we're going to be looking at the menu system.
We'll learn how to navigate the menu and look at some of the most important features.
There will also be things that we've already covered in the previous lessons where you can get to those
settings via a button or a menu option through the back preview screen.
And it's something that you can do in the main menu as well.
So to get to the menu all you have to do is press the menu button.
Now if you can in menu doesn't look like this.
We saw earlier in the course that you can switch it from the standard or the guided to the standard
menu.
So here's what the standard view looks like for the back of the screen.
And then also if we go in menu display go to guided.
This is what the menu is going to look like.
I want you to switch over to the standard option because it's easy to use and it's what all Canon cameras
have as an option to look at.
So once you're here if you click the menu button basically how you navigate this is you can use the
plus pad to go left or right through these tabs.
And as you go through these tabs you can see that there's it's got kind of like a folder structure at
the top you go through and it changes color.
So the first menu the read is the shoot menu.
If you go further you've got the blue play menu.
If you go past that it's just the basic setup menu.
Then you've got your menu v view or display level options and then a my menu custom menu setup.
So you could actually create your own custom menu and put things there where you want to get to them
fast if there's something deep within this menu.
You can also use the scroll dial up here to quickly go through the menu options as well.
In terms of making any adjustments when you go up or down you can go through the menu options and then
you can press set to go into those options and then you just can go up and down again to choose an option
or if you want to go back just press the menu button to get out of the menu just press menu again.
So that's how you navigate the menu.
I'm going to stop there so that you can make sure your menu is set up properly to the standard view
so we can look at it together.
And then in the next lessons we'll be looking at each of these tabs and menus to see what important
features you need to know.
Some of these things are really really advance or all just kind of go over them and talk about where
they're at.
But I'm not going to necessarily explain every single little feature but if you ever have a question
go back to your camera manual.
If you don't have your camera manual anymore you can download it from Cannon's Web site for free just
search for your camera model and the manual.
And usually the first result on Google will be from Cannon's Web site where you could download the manual
for free.
That being said we will be going over most of the things and at least by the end of this section you'll
know where to get to things if you were wondering.
Thanks a lot.
And we'll see in the next lesson.
